"The Lisbon Architecture Triennale announced as the winner of the fifth edition of the Début Award the Indian office ReSa Architects. The office is known for its collective approach to spatial practice, treating architecture as a process of rewriting social and bodily relations. In previous editions, the award recognized the work Vão (Brazil, 2022), Bonell+Dòriga (Spain, 2019), Umwelt (Chile, 2016) and Jimenez Lai, from Bureau Spectacular (USA, 2013)."
"The announcement was made on October 4, during the opening festivities of the Triennale, which in this edition awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award to the architect, Yasmeen Lari from Pakistan, the first person from the global south to receive the honor. Lari joins Marina Tabassum (2022 award winner), Denise Scott-Brown (2019), the duo Lacaton & Vassal (2016), Kenneth Frampton (2013), Álvaro Siza (2010), and Vittorio Gregotti (2007)."
ReSa Architects, an Indian office led by two women, won the fifth Début Award at the Lisbon Architecture Triennale for a collective spatial practice that treats architecture as rewriting social and bodily relations. The Triennale announced a Lifetime Achievement Award to Pakistani architect Yasmeen Lari, marking the first time the honor went to someone from the global south. The Début shortlist included Bangkok Tokyo Architecture, Palma, Robida Collective, and TEN; the 2025 edition received 75 eligible applications worldwide. ReSa's practice emphasizes "situations" over fixed sites, exploring relationships between image, text, and body to expand architecture's capacity for social subversion.
